About My Blog

My photo
As a mother of three beautiful children ages 9,7 & 2, I'm a busy mom, but painting is my time to retreat, refresh and rejuvenate! I plan to make this blog a journal of ideas for paintings, an update on how a painting is coming along and finally, the finished product. Most of the paintings are for sale, so if you see one you can't live without, let me know! Also, please feel free to leave comments, ideas or a friendly howdy!

Wrangler

Wrangler 8x8 oil on board --For Auction "Gimme Shelter" benifitting Baldwin Animal Rescue Center SOLD

I cannot express how happy I am to be painting again! Yippee! Ok, that's out...now about Wrangler. I chose Wrangler among numerous dogs who need homes in Baldwin County. Wrangler, who is an Austrailian Shepherd/Blue Heeler mix, has a very sad story. She was found with a belt tied around her neck. The belt had embedded itself in her skin because she had grown up with it around her neck. The vet's had to surgically remove the belt and now she has to wear a harness instead of a collar. Wrangler is well taken care of at a boarding shelter, but she needs a good home. This painting will be a part of the "Gimme Shelter" Exhibit at the Eastern Shore Art Center benefitting the Baldwin Animal Rescue Center (BARC) in September. I hope this painting gets a great home along with Wrangler! I enjoyed painting this with a palette knife and brushes too.
